Tokina Cinema Vista 18mm T1.5 E Mount. Tokina have been hard at work to overcome optical challenges to create this superb 18mm wide angle cine lens which incorporates three ashperical elements and has a super-fast T1.5 maximum aperture keeping it consistent with other lenses in the Tokina Vista range.
Throughout the range the length of the lenses is also kept consistent and diameter is also consistent at 114mm throughout the range. The lenses all benefit from virtually no breathing and the image circle of 46.7mm covers FF35 and beyond to VistaVision format.
